And here for the graduate version:

Max/MSP/Jitter is a prototyping language for programming interactive sound and video environments. One of it’s greatest strengths is the ease with which hardware devices can be incorporated. In this class, you will learn intuitive approaches to making stuff happen with sound and video and hardware devices.

The instructor, Barry Moon, has been playing with Max/MSP since it was in beta (1997), and Max-fts before that. He has also done a bunch of stuff with Jitter in 2D and 3D as part of a research interest in visualization and sonification.

Here’s some documentation Scott made is available on his site (see his Projects section).

Postcard

admin — Tue, 01 Jul 2003 17:00:55 +0000

Postcard is a piece for chair and computer generated image and sound. Video images come from Wells, the place where I bought the chair and am currently living. The sound is largely synthesized, using techniques such as chaos, and comb-filtered noise. Playing the chair controls the video and sound. This is done by feeding live video of the chair via Firewire into SoftVNS for analysis. SoftVNS allows the definition of regions according to a mask. In this case the regions and mask are defined by a drawing of the parts of the chair.

Some images from the piece:

This is a collaboration with the choreographer Adele Levi. It was performed by dancers Maria Ramos, Clive Andrews, and Katherine Nietrzebka, and musician John O’Hara. The development of motion-tracking techniques in SoftVNS was supported by a grant by the Arts and Humanities Research Board (AHRB).
